A dominant mutation in mec-7/β-tubulin affects axon development and regeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans neurons.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Feb 2013

Kirszenblat Leonie, Neumann Brent, Coakley Sean, Hilliard Massimo A

Abstract excerpt

Microtubules have been known for decades to be basic elements of the cytoskeleton. They form long, dynamic, rope-like structures within the cell that are essential for mitosis, maintenance of cell shape, and intracellular transport. More recently, in vitro studies have implicated microtubules as signaling molecules that, through changes in their stability, have the potential to trigger growth of axons and...
